Performance Driver information

What are performance drivers?

Performance drivers, also known as professional race car drivers or stunt drivers, are individuals who operate vehicles at high speeds or in demanding conditions for competitive racing, testing, or entertainment purposes. Their main role is to push vehicles to their limits, often in motorsport events, automotive testing, or for film and television productions. They require advanced driving skills, quick reflexes, and a deep understanding of vehicle mechanics and dynamics. Performance drivers often work with teams to optimize vehicle performance and ensure safety during high-speed maneuvers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Performance Driver, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Performance Driver, you need advanced driving skills, in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics, and often a valid professional racing or high-performance driving license. Familiarity with telemetry systems, data analysis tools, and industry-standard safety equipment is crucial. Exceptional focus, quick decision-making, and strong communication skills help drivers adapt to rapidly changing conditions and work effectively with teams. These abilities are essential for achieving peak vehicle performance, ensuring safety, and succeeding in competitive or testing environments.

What are some common challenges faced by Performance Drivers, and how can they be overcome?

Performance Drivers often face challenges such as adapting to different vehicles, managing high-pressure situations during competitions or testing, and maintaining peak physical and mental condition. To overcome these challenges, drivers typically undergo rigorous training to familiarize themselves with various car dynamics, work closely with technical teams to fine-tune vehicle performance, and follow strict fitness and nutrition regimens. Effective communication with engineers and consistent practice are key to success in this dynamic and demanding role.

What is the difference between Performance Driver vs Sales Associate?

Performance Drivers focus on developing strategies to improve business outcomes and often require marketing or sales experience. Sales Associates primarily engage in direct customer sales and service. While both roles involve sales skills, Performance Drivers are more strategic, whereas Sales Associates are more customer-facing and transactional.

Job description

Scope of Work: Project Performance Engineer - Vehicle Dynamics
The Project Performance Engineer (PPE) for Vehicle Dynamics is responsible for achieving vehicle level ride and handling targets for Stellantis Vehicles. The candidate will coordinate with a team of core dynamics engineers to establish development timelines to meet all functional objectives, component tuning freeze dates, and electronic control hardware/software release dates. Further responsibilities include analyzing and mitigating the vehicle dynamics performance impact of engineering, brand, and marketing requests. The PPE also leads coordination of activities with multiple external stakeholders (powertrain, mechatronics, etc.) and must be confident providing updates to senior management regarding state of the program.
The PPE will be responsible for in-vehicle development of the critical components to meet the vehicle's overall ride, steering, handling, and tire performance objectives. This development work takes place predominantly at the Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, with travel required to other test locations as both weather, and test surface conditions dictate (Significant travel occurs during the winter months, with trips lasting 2-3 weeks at a time. Travel is mostly domestic within North America, but can also be international, and is approximately 20% of the Engineer's time.).

  • Perform subjective evaluations of ride, steering, and handling and assign ratings according to SAE subjective scales up to and beyond the handling limits of the vehicle
  • Work closely with suppliers to drive changes required to complete tuning of all systems including air springs, passive dampers, semi-active dampers, and electronic power steering
  • Support all active chassis teams in development/implementation/testing of electromechanical hardware and supporting software through data acquisition system
  • Development of state-of-the-art prototype and production controls solutions
    for electromechanical suspension components
  • Contribute to development of future semi-active damping strategies and algorithm functional execution
  • Work closely with chassis controls team members to develop seamless
    integration with other active chassis controls components and systems
  • Development and execution of vehicle performance DVP&R
  • Support core software team with execution of functional and failsafe DVP&R
    with vehicle level tests

  • Must be capable of driving vehicles at, or above the limit of handling
  • Valid US driver's license

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from an ABET
